Abstract

Food and Nutrition Life Sciences
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of the grading site (5thvs 10th rib) and the carcass side (left vs right) oni) predicted MQ4 scores of 5 cuts, ii) predicted MSA index, and iii) intramuscular fat measured visually using 2 marbling scoring systems in late-maturing beef cattle. CONCLUSION From a practical point of view an adjustment for the MSA model could allow better prediction of late-maturing beef cattle avoiding over- or under-estimation of animal’s potential.
